Introduction:
The Church at large has lost interest in Biblical Prophecy
The Book of Daniel is to the Old Testament what Revelation is to the New Testament.
Daniel was a man of integrity, interpretation, and inspiration.
Daniel sets forth a clear picture of the Sovereign God of History, the Lord Jesus Christ, a worthy object of our earthly worship.
In Revelation you will see the Sovereign God of the Hereafter, the Lord Jesus Christ, a worthy object of our eternal worship.
As we study this great prophetic book and learn what the future holds we will discover how to live a godly life in the midst of a corrupt and dying world.
